Saints at ‘standstill’ over Gaston Ramirez move
BOLOGNA president Albano Guaraldi claims Gaston Ramirez’s prospective move to Southampton is at a standstill.
The winger has been the subject of speculation after impressing Inter Milan, Liverpool and Tottenham.
But Saints were on the verge of signing the Uruguay star last week before negotiations came to a halt.
Guaraldi said: “Any deal is on hold. The negotiations with Southampton are at a standstill because they haven’t given us the financial guarantees we asked for.
“We’re trying to resolve the situation, but the two parties can’t agree.
“Ramirez has told me that he’s threatening not to play any more. His agent has made moves without our knowledge.”
